The
son
of
Angus
McLeod
and
Nancy
McCutchen,
Daniel
was
the
brother
of
my
direct
line
ancestor,
Alexander
McLeod,
husband
of
Sarah
McIntosh.
Born
cr.
1790
in
North
Carolina
according
to
the
1850
Sumter
District
Census,
he
appears
for
the
first
time
as
head
of
household
in
1830
Sumter.
His
property
lay
on
or
near
the
Beaverdam
Branch
in
Sumter,
some
of
which
is
still
owned
by
his
great
great
grandson
today
-
that
portion
is
shown
on
present
day
Lee
County
SC
maps
as
"McLeods
Mill
Pond".

Von
Hacke
papers
at
Sumter
state
this
Daniel
was
the
son
of
Angus
McLeod
of
1820
Sumter.
Research
indicates
this
is
not
a
true
connection,
most
of
the
property
attributed
to
this
Daniel
by
Von
Hacke
was
actually
the
property
of
Daniel
and
Catherine
McLeod
(see
above).
Owned
property
near
Rembert
Church
in
Sumter
where
he
and
many
of
his
descendants
are
buried.
One
researcher
reports
that
the
book,
"Scots
in
the
Carolina's"
states
that
this
Daniel's
father
was
another
Daniel
McLeod,
not
an
Angus.

Daniel
McLeod-
brother
of
Angus
MacLeod
(shown
as
Sr.
in
Kershaw
District
Records
between
1820
and
1835)

He
was
named
in
an
1827
lawusit
as
a
witness
in
which
his
brother
Angus
Sr.
is
named
as
defendant;
and
apparently
moved
to
Barbour
County
Alabama
with
his
brother
in
1835
(the
land
in
the
lawsuit
was
sold
at
this
time
to
William
Arrants
and
the
Dower
Rights
were
released
by
Margaret
McLeod).
